2010 Chrysler Town and Country will randomly not start?

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

From the reading I've been doing looks like a common problem. Don't have this problem in the winter only the summer. So we thought it was an AC issue so we didn't turn the AC on. Just this past week we didn't have AC on went out to eat and when we came out it wouldn't start. The dash lights ALL come on, radio, headlights but no clicking noise nothing like it's trying to turn over. Any ideas? No one seems to know whats wrong with it.

It sounds like a WCM. There was a recall on them,
so even if a dealership did the recall Chrysler uses
reman parts. I would go to a dealership, tell them
what the problem is and see... Chrysler guarantees
there recalls for life. So if it has been done they will
do it again. Remember to take all of your keys to the
dealership whenever​ you go.

Our dealerships are about as helpful as Chrysler.
Their answer to everything is to put it on the
computer and charge me $75 to do that every time.
I wI'll try to talk to them to see if a recall was ever
done but I know there is no current recall. I will say I
wish I never purchased this van. I finally get it paid
off and now looking at putting more money into it. I
just don't understand why it starts perfectly fine in
the winter but spring and summer we have this
problem.

Check out the R03 recall. You can call any Chrysler
dealership and ask if it was done you'll need your
mileage, the last eight numbers of your VIN, and the
first four letters of your last name. Tell them to run a
V.I.P. they can then tell you if it had a recall, needs a
recall, or needs further diag.

Your ignition switch (WCM) is multiplex, meaning
that in each position of your key it sends a different
resistance to the TIPM. Weather does play into
resistance. It is entirely likely that it gets cold or hot
and that changes the resistance. So now the key
doesn't know what position it is in.

Since this is the most help I've gotten here is
another question. When this happens all the
gauges and lightshe on dash come on. The gauges
all go crazy and the lights flash. Would that be tied
possibly to the key issue maybe?

That could be your high speed bus dropping out.
The van doesn't know what the driver input is so it
turns on the wipers, headlamps, and sets the HVAC
to defrost. I still suspect that the issue is is in the
WCM. I recommend that you call your local
dealership and have them do that V.I.P. to start.

The van was idling so low it vibrated the van, but running well other than the idling issue so I shut it down to do the repairs, so I replaced the spark plugs, the spark plug wires,ignition coil pack,...
